Living with the Dead by Kelley Armstrong

This was my absolute least favorite of the Women of the Otheworld series.  I think Hope’s dilemma isn’t well defined.  In fact, I have no idea how it really matters other than she spaces out. 
In this story, Robyn, Hope’s friend, is a publicist who moved to LA after her husband was murdered.  Robyn is, understandably, [...]

Dates from Hell – Kim Harrison, Kelley Armstrong, etc 10/1/08

Another anthology.
In the first story, we meet Ivy and Kiston before they meet Rachel.  Just before, as Ivy is getting ready to meet Rachel at the very end of the story.  Ivy is trying to figure out how to outwit her boss and, of course, she does.  Not the greatest story but not too bad, [...]

Personal Demon by Kelley Armstrong 06/08/08

Personal Demon is wonderful.
 
I know, that isn’t very objective, but there you are.  Armstrong’s books just keep getting better and better.
 
This book features Hope and Lucas, but mostly Hope.  Hope Adams is a tabloid reporter and an Expisco half-demon, daughter of Lucifer. As she says, “Not Satan. A totally different guy.”
 
Hope is approached [...]

No Humans Involved by Kelley Armstrong 04/21/08

Jaime Vegas, who we originally met in Industrial Magic, is the narrator for this book in the Women of the Otherworld series. Jaime is a necromancer which means that she can communicate with the dead. In some books, like Laurell K. Hamilton’s Anita Blake series, a necromancer doesn’t talk to ghosts, she raises [...]

Broken by Kelley Armstrong 04/14/08

Elena is the only female werewolf. Werewolves are either born with the gene – and it’s only passed to boys – or bitten and women usually die. Except Elena. Elena was Bitten but she lived.
The pregnancy is troubling – there hasn’t been a werewolf pregnancy so no one knows what to expect. [...]

Haunted by Kelley Armstrong 04/13/08

Eve Levine is a ghost. In “Industrial Magic” she makes a deal with The Fates and, if Paige and Lucas are returned to life, she’ll owe The Fates a favor. Now they’ve decided to call it in.
What they want seems to be impossible. The Nix, a demi-demon, has accidentally been let loose [...]

Industrial Magic by Kelley Armstrong 04/10/08

I’m always thrilled when I find a new writer who a) I think is amazing; b) who is writing a series, which I love; c) there are several books to the series before I find them; and d) whose writing gets better with each book. That describes Kelley Armstrong perfectly.
 
The Women of the Otherworld series [...]

Dimestore Magic by Kelley Armstrong 03/26/08

Book 3. 
In this book, we revisit Paige and Savannah from Stolen, as well as Leah.  Paige is a witch who is, at a very young age, Coven Leader because her mother died.  Savannah is a very powerful witch whose birth father, a sorcerer, is trying to get her from Paige, for some reason.
It’s hard for [...]

Stolen by Kelley Armstrong 03/285/08

Book 2. 
I’ve decided that I *really* like this series.  This was so well-written.  Essentially, Someone is capturing supernaturals to study them for some reason.  Elena – the werefwolf from Bitten – is captured.  The story revolves around her experiences and then her attempt to escape and what happens next.
We also meet the main characters of [...]
